Listed below are Folklore and Folklife sites on the World Wide Web. These have been selected for assigned readings, for audio and video links, as well as to give you a wide range of browsing options among responsibly done sites. Use your browser's BACK command to return from any of these public sites to our class syllabus site.

Please be aware that a few of these are commercial sites, even though they appear to be purely informational.  I have pointed you to such sites only in cases where you can freely access significant content. I have surveyed all the sites for responsible content, but in the circumstance that any site may have been corrupted by links to inappropriate or offensive materials, I disclaim any knowledge of or responsibility for such inappropriate links.
